Description Contents Requirements

Retailing is a highly significant economic activity on both a national and international scale. The Surrey Business School recognises this in offering an MSc designed for those looking to develop their knowledge of the theory and practice of retail marketing and its application in the international business environment.

The programme also enables you to develop your knowledge of business management more generally. It reflects the demand for highly qualified managers from a rapidly internationalising retail sector in which the competitive significance of advanced retail marketing practices is increasingly acknowledged. It is highly relevant for future managers in retail and related professional services working in both developed and developing business environments.

The programme consists of six compulsory modules, two optional modules from a range of five, and a dissertation.
